witsel he's from Juve, Maximovich he's from Naples! A few hours from the dead line (23pm) the transfer market lights up with the last barrels and the protagonists, once again, are the black and whites and the blues. The former give themselves that long-awaited midfielder, the latter a central defender who has been pursued for almost two years. It took some time but in the end Witsel and Maksimovic, after a long courtship, will wear the jerseys of Juventus and Napoli.
It had already been understood for a couple of days that the Belgian was close to transfer and when Lucescu, Zenit coach, officially opened the negotiation ("thanks to this operation we will return to the parameters of financial Fair Play") the countdown is match. The deal closed for 18 million plus 3 in bonuses: Witsel, currently on retreat with Belgium, will arrive in Turin in the next few hours to undergo medical tests and then sign the contract with his new club.
Situation similar to that of Maximovich, a long-time betrothed to Naples, so much so that he broke off relations with Sinisa Mihajlovic. The operation, already drafted in recent days, was successful on the basis of 25 million plus 2 in bonuses, in addition to the loan Valdifiori, midfielder very welcome to the grenade coach.
Il blue market, barring a flashback for Criscito (he wants to return to Italy but earns a lot), ends here: given the impossibility of getting to Pavoletti (and Kalinic before him), De Laurentiis has decided to confirm Seagulls (his transfer to Everton was officially skipped), so much so that he was offered a contract renewal until 2021 for 3 million per season.
Today's day, the last useful day for the summer session, could still offer some surprises. Juve already has an agreement in principle to sell Hernanes to Genoa (but first the rossoblu must sell Rincon to Crystal Palace) and will try again to take Cuadrado, whose loan is always on standby.
His arrival is likely to lead to the rift with Lichtsteiner, requested by Inter: the bianconeri however, annoyed by the closure on Brozovic (his stay in the nerazzurri is getting closer and closer), have already made it known that there is no talk of it. De Boer's club, which he made official yesterday Gabigol, will look around until the end, a bit like Milan and Rome.
The Rossoneri, still grappling with known financial difficulties, are negotiating Mati Fernandez (released from Fiorentina) and, according to the English press, Wilshere of Arsenal: the latter name, however, at least as far as Italian sources are concerned, does not seem to find confirmation. Galliani is unlikely to be able to land a shot even in defense: Rodrigo Caio e Musacchio they like them a lot but they cost (10 the first, 25 the second) and could only arrive in the event of a last minute sale (eye to Luiz Adriano, probed by Dinamo Kiev).
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, could give way Winner to Malaga and jump on Belhanda of the same Ukrainian club, vice versa they will remain as they are. Gray market final at Fiorentina: in addition to Mati Fernandez, who released himself to try his luck elsewhere, he should also leave Marcos Alonso, very close to Chelsea for 27 million euros. Transfers that are causing a lot of anger Paulo Sousa, increasingly embittered in front of the Della Valle policy.
